Collection: プラチナコレクション-Platinum Collection

Platinum leaf, a tarnish-resistant
alternative to silver, has long been favored in the decorative elements of
Nishijin-ori textiles. Unlike gold, platinum is less malleable, making it
difficult to turn into foil. Its production requires advanced techniques, and
today, there is only one artisan in Japan capable of crafting it, resulting in
an exceptionally limited and rare material.

The process involves coating traditional
Japanese paper with lacquer, applying a layer of platinum leaf stretched to its
thinnest form, and cutting it into fine strips. These strips, without twisting,
are woven directly into the obi as weft threads. The result is a platinum leaf
obi, adorned with radiant and dignified patterns that exude an air of refined
elegance. The opulent splendor of this fabric captivates all who behold it.
Enjoy the unparalleled beauty and delicate brilliance that this exquisite obi offers.
